The Fletching Table has been in the game for years, but has never had a function. The possibilities are there for some really cool things.
Although it's not possible to bring function to the block in Vanilla Minecraft, we can still come up with ideas for it.

In this data pack I decided to bring some of my hypothetical ideas to the game, as always with the goal of keeping things vanilla friendly.
This is my attempt at answering "If the Fletching Table were to work, what kind of things could you do with it?"
Additionally, I wanted to bring some more usage to items that we usually look over, since they are generally unused and not useful.


  • NORMAL ARROWS now have a more expanded recipe, allowing you to make arrows if you don't have Flint and Feathers.
  • NEW ARROWS have been added, allowing for some unique combat potential. They each have special abilities that activate on a fully charged shot. They are compatible with bows and crossbows alike, becoming even more powerful with Multishot and other enchantments


Added Arrows
FIRE ARROW:
-Has the flame enchantment built in.
-A fully charged shot will set the block it hits on fire, destroying the arrow.

SHATTERING ARROW:
-Deals less damage.
-A fully charged shot will scatter sharp fragments of amethyst to deal damage to mobs in a small block radius.

HEAVY ARROW:
-Deals more damage.
-Punches through transparent plants, such as grass, flowers, saplings, mushrooms, vines, and crops.
-A fully charged shot will bamboo and cobwebs, but also small wooden blocks, such as buttons, pressure plates, banners, and signs.

ECHO ARROW:
-Higher rarity
-Does not break on impact, even if charged.
-A fully charged shot that hits a mob will echo some of the damage dealt as health back to the shooter.

COMBINED ARROWS:
-Echo + Fire send health back over time instead of instantly.
-Heavy + Fire creates a larger area of fire.



And that's it! Let me know what you think and any suggestions for the pack in the comments!

NBT changes! v2.1 : by AuraAcorn 12/08/2023 10:33:36 amDec 8th, 2023

This just updates the pack to Minecraft version 1.20.3, which now maintains NBT for arrows automatically, so the retrieval system can be removed.
It also renames a few things that were changed, and is updated to the newest data pack version.
Otherwise, it still works the exact same, no gameplay changes.

The pack is updated to 1.20.3, which changes many commands, so it won't work with any version below.

I aim to keep my data packs vanilla friendly and decently realistic. Those ideas are great, but they're very fantasy oriented compared to what I do, and would work better in a magic arrow data pack.

Yes, all of my tweaking and updating was done in 1.20.1 so it does.

I didn't add it here, but I have an upcoming data pack that I'll include piercing for regular bows. I might add it later to this one if I decide to.
